Sake rice: Omachi Rice polishing ratio: 50 At "Honaka" in the main station of Toyohashi Dry and weak in flavor, The Omachi character is not so strong. 4.0

Japanese Sake Fest @ Osaka Bay Tower (・ω・`;) I see that the sake is from Nada. I recently found out that there is a small sake brewery in Nada and bought some Houmusume, which was outstandingly delicious! And this Hamafukutsuru! This is also wonderful! It has a beautiful breadth of flavor and just the right amount of body. The best part is the price: about 1,100 yen! I wish there was one in my neighborhood! When I go to Kobe for Onsen (hot springs), it is so close to the station that I might even stop by a sake brewery just for this!

A summer-only light nigori (nigori is a light, unadulterated sake). The alcohol content is light at 9 degrees. It has a refreshing sweetness and acidity reminiscent of citrus fruits. The bottle and labeling are stylish. You can enjoy sake in a fashionable way.

Japanese>English

Beau Michelle's light nigori 😍✨ discovered by accident in Osaka. I didn't think I'd be able to drink this this year❗️I bought it right away❗️ I'll be back in a few days! It's almost overflowing with the sizzle 😮️❗️ It's fruity like a fruit wine on the palate⁉️Is this really sake? It's 9% and 500ml, so naturally I finished it in one night🤣.

Sweet 👊 Really Sake ⁉️ Sake that is not like sake in a good way😊.

This is a completely pre-ordered raw usu-nigori. It was my first time to try Jyoshinin Jiheiji itself. It was a brand that I had paid attention to in everyone's reviews, so I took a chance and bought a bottle. The result was a great answer. It has an elegant and gentle sweetness. It makes me feel spring.

This year's version is delicious too!

I opened the second bottle because I have reserved next year's. It is too dangerous for me. (Be careful about chugging it all at once.)

Hakurei was sold in the bargain section at the supermarket. I bought it by accident. It tasted clean and dry. It was a good purchase.

Japanese>English

At the Hakurei Sake Brewery booth, we were allowed to compare the Vivid series. This is the best part of the tasting event😋. Blue, green, and red, all delicious and interesting. I had a short chat with the brewery owner as well, as I had visited there before. Personally, I prefer the sweet red.

Japanese>English

You like sake, don't you? A gift from my aunt. Thank you very much. For some reason, when I get sake as a souvenir, it is often extremely dry or has a high alcohol content😅. And this time, it's a raw sake. The alcohol content is 18. This is my first time to drink it in a No. 5 bottle. Cold sake has a sweetness of rice, but it has a sharp taste. I tried heating it up. It has a very strong alcohol taste, but the softness and sweetness are more pronounced. Not bad. The third picture shows my second son, who just turned 5 years old, helping to chop the ingredients for the nabe. He was born in 2021, but I can only feel the Showa era 🤣. He is a reserve army of drinkers who loves shabu-shabu more than hamburgers and is looking forward to the future.

Today, my wife and son bought some Hakuryu Nigori👍 at a nearby Aeon. Thanks for telling me that you saw Hakuryu nigori sake with a warning sign on it so you bought it for me ❣️ I've been drinking beer and shochu on the days we don't have sake at home, but it doesn't suit my constitution or something 😅I wake up at least 3 times during the night and rush to the bathroom 🤔❓I'm still not sure if it's the amount of sake I drink or the fact that it's alcoholic or not 🤔❓ Well then, open the bottle: ‼️ The aroma is lactic acid with a hint of alcohol. The taste is also lactic acidic with a strong carbonation 👍It has 18% alcohol by volume so if I finish it, I will get very drunk 🤣. I'd recommend it more as a standalone drink than as a food drink 😆.

Japanese>English

A refreshing, light and dry nigori sake. It's been a while since I've had a Shiryu from Niigata, but I get the impression that they make a good value for money Ginjo-shu. Chilled tofu with "leek and ginger", which I got because I was curious about it from Supoyo's post.

Japanese>English

I'm going to post some more pictures today😅. Made entirely from Echigo Gohyakumangoku and brewed with wine yeast. I thought it would be stylish✨. It's a sweet white wine style. I'm sure you'll love it!

#Otsuka# Today, I'd like to have a cup of sake with a side of Karuku Akashiyaki 😁. There is a lot of confusion in the organization due to the new year's organizational changes. Individual consultations continue 😆. Well, there are days like this 😅😅

Japanese>English

This is the first sake from the brewery I have ever had. I received it as a Furusato tax donation. The Tale of Genji label reminds me of the current historical drama "To the Lord of Light". It was slightly sweet and easier to drink than I expected.

At home. First Fukuoka, first Mitsui no Kotobuki. It was introduced as an easy to drink sake for those who are trying sake for the first time. The aroma is gorgeous and fruity, and it goes down easy without any resistance, with a little bitterness in the throat. It's very easy to drink. Tomorrow is my day off, and I'm going to drink it with Sogapelle ❗️.

Japanese>English

Anzai-sensei I want to drink sake. It has a sweet aroma of rice and a clay-like aroma. It has a pleasant sweet aroma of rice, umami, and a pleasant sweetness when swallowed, with a moderate alcohol content. When drunk with a meal, the sake will refresh the palate and the umami and acidity will follow the meal, making everything delicious. Now there is nothing else to do but drink it.

Hokkaido has become like spring. We had it with tempura of butterbur's leaf. It goes well with the bitter taste of butterbur's tongue.

I bought it at Tsunoka Shoten, which I had wanted to visit for a long time. The nearest stations are Keihan Sumizome Station, Keihan Fujimori Station, or JR Fujimori Station. The brands available include Miyakotsuru, Tamagawa, Yaetsuru, Shirakikyu, Kumi no Ura, Jinzo, Yosamusume, Haginoroh, Roppo (from Kirakucho's brewery), Wakabisu, Joyo, Honohana (from Wakamiya Shuzo), and sake from the Meimon Sake Association. In addition, there were a few PB-like products that were only available at sake dealers' associations and unions. They were sake made by Eikun and Tsuki no Katsura. There were two kinds of sake, both fruity, so I chose 1801. It was not very fragrant for an aromatic yeast, but it was voluptuous and sweet. It was a bit similar to the Yatagarasu I drank before. I wonder if it tastes like this when you make a sweet sake with Koshihikari. It tastes a little cloying and messy...

Japanese>English

Yosamusume Shuzo is a sake brewery that has only had a summer-only sake called "Sono Higurashi Nigori Shu" in the past. This time it was the most expensive sake, "Yosamusume Junmai Daiginjo Gohyakumangoku 40% polished. It is tasty and refreshing. It is considered to be reasonable in its price range.

Japanese>English

Special Honjozo brewed with Kyoto brand rice, Kyo no Shine. I was a bit scared of the -10 sake level, but the balance of the alcoholic beverage is well expressed 😋. It's 19 degrees, a solid sake but easy to drink. I can't stop drinking it.

Sannomaru Autumn hiyaoroshi from Kaito Otokoyama Shuzo. There is almost no standing aroma, but the hint of aroma is pear. It is a junmai sake that was fire-aged before storage and bottled fresh. It has a rich flavor, but it is still fresh, so it is not hard to drink and before you know it, you will be back for more.

Japanese>English

20231216 I have never heard of this wine before even though I live in Fukushima. It is neither sweet nor dry, but delicious! It's a great wine for those in the know. It was really delicious 🍶! Thank you very much for your kindness.

Return Series. With the concept of "to the world", alcohol 12℃. It's something I've been curious about because of my perception that it's an emerging force in Niigata. It's a white wine taste. Almost a white wine. The sourness of the wine was so strong that I gave up on it.

Japanese>English

A 50% polished Junmai Daiginjo, Meguro Gorosuke, from Tama Flavor in Uonuma City (formerly Morimon Village), Niigata Prefecture. As is typical of Uonuma sake, it is a ginjo-shu that is not overly aromatic. I remember drinking it once at Tatsuya, a yakiton (grilled pork dumpling) restaurant in Numabukuro on the Seibu Shinjuku Line.

Japanese>English

Lighter than expected, sour, sweet and ricey. I was worried before drinking it because it had quite a bit of color, but I was relieved to see the explanation on the back label. The Tama Flavor brewery is known for its regular brand, Tama Flavor, which is a light, dry sake that is the king of Uonuma, but they also brew Itkey and 46°C Echigo-Bushi (Samurai), which I recognized once again as a brewery with a very sharp personality.
